This city, apart from football and rugby, has long been short of decent sporting venues. Smudge (of The Oatcake) used to have to go to Derby for his son (who is a brilliant swimmer) to have access to a full-sized swimming pool to train in. Northwood Stadium has had little investment over the last 70 years and the funding for it is abysmal. The coaches there (bless 'em) are mostly unpaid volunteers and there's a shortage of them in most disciplines. It all adds up to aspiring families not choosing the city as a place to live when leisure facilities are so bad.
